at the run of the channeled or ztrough shaped I glass. 25. This glasswill preferably be tra nsluccnt, and when the-1 parts are, assembled thelamp is completely inclosed, and

concealed. The front edge of the casing 13 has a; continuous bead orgroove 23, and the flange 24 at the'frontqedgeof the glass isalsocontlnuous. .Atthe rear edgeotihe casing 13 the head 23 iscutiawajymtinters vals, -..formingrecesses 26, anclft-he flai ge othe'glass. is also recessed atigtpiral s lg j in' projections 27 whichwhen -l the; glass. is. in place are engaged by the; reinaining l artsof the bead 23. When the glass "is shifted endwise. sufficiently to;register. -the' projecholder or casing and. may action is accompaniedbythe-removal of the detachable end 15. Thus to remove the glass 25 andso expose the lamp for any-purpose the end 15 is first slipped ofl". The

the glass to be dropped and removed. When the glass is replaced, itsflange 24 at the front is first en a ed in the front groove (3 23, andit is then s id along to locked position, and the end piece 15 isslipped into place and held by the-springs 16. The casing parts 13, 14and 15, and the supportin arm'G, are preferably made'of metal and may beornamented as desired.

For gallery use and the like the reflector casing 13 will be made anydesired length;

with suitable supporting arms at intervals,

When'a long reflector isused the number of lamps will be increasedaccordingly.

An advantage'of the construction above "described with respect to thedevices for "holding the glass 25 is that the g .zss can be removedwithout disturbing the lamp,

shifting the same only far enough to regis- 'ter the projections 27 withthe spaces'26,

\Vhat I claim as new is:

1.. A lighting fixture comprising a channeled casing with end closuresone of'which is removable, a lamp support said casing, and a removableglass having interlocking engagement at its sides with the edges of saidcasing and at its ends with the' said end closures- Y 2. A lightingfixture comprising a semicylindrical casing having end "closures one ofwhich is removable,'a lamp support in said casing, and asemi-cylindrical glass having sliding engagement at its side edges withthe edges of thecasing, said glass also having closed end portions whichengage with the edges of the said end closures.

3. A'lighting fixture comprising a chan nele'd casing having grooves atopposite edges, the groove at one edge being inter-.

rupted by recesses, and. a glass having projecting margins which areslidable into said grooves to'holdthe glass in posit-ion,-one

margin being interrupted 'to form projectionswhich will pass throughsaid recesses,

whereby the glass may be removed by shifting the 'same to register theprojections with said recesses.

4. A lighting fixture comprising an elongated cha nneled casing havinggrooves at. opposite edges, the groove at one edge being interrupted {byrecesses, end pieces on the casingfhaviiig grooves at theiredges, one ofsaid end pieces being removable, a troughshaped glass having marginalflanges at its sides and ends engageable in said grooves to holdtheglass in position, the flange at one side of the glass beinginterrupted to form projections, the glass bein 'shiftable: to registersaid projections wit said recesses and permit removal of the;glas's,-and cans in the casing to support'a lamp.

Y "5. A lighting fixture comprising a'channeled" casing having endclosures one of .whichis removable, the edges of-said casing andclosures having alinedgrooves,fla channeled glass with closed ends,theside and end margins of the glass having'flanges fitting in thegrooves to hold theglass inplatie, the side flanges of the glass beinslidable lengthwise in the side grooves of t e casing to permitinsertion or removal thereof, and a lamp support in the casing l p Intestimony whereof, I a x'my signature in presence of two witnesses.
